Responding to a directive by board member Larry Dale, Superintendent Diane Roussel identified eight schools that she said could accommodate School Board meetings if the board buys the proper audio equipment.

"A lot of parents don't have the opportunity to come to Bonnabel every month and I wanted to be able to make us more accessible to folks who would want to come to talk to us," Dale said.

He said it would also serve board members well to visit schools in districts other than their own.

In March, Dale directed the administration to determine which schools could accommodate board meetings without disrupting their own activities.

Besides Bonnabel, which is in the 7th District, Roussel named West Jefferson High School in the 1st District, Helen Cox High in the 2nd, John Ehret High in the 3rd, Riverdale High School the 4th District, L.W. Higgins High in the 5th, East Jefferson High in the 6th, Grace King High in the 8th and Theodore Roosevelt Middle in the 9th.
